U.S., Feb. 4 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT06805357) titled 'Lung Recruitment During Chest Physiotherapy in Mechanically Ventilated Patients' on Jan. 13.
Brief Summary: In intensive care, respiratory physiotherapy is an integral part of the daily care of patients under invasive mechanical ventilation. Its goals are to improve the clearance of bronchial secretions to allow for the resolution of atelectasis and alveolar recruitment, thereby enhancing respiratory mechanics and gas exchange.
